Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 160 ft high at an initial speed of 30 mi/h, what is

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

We can use 2 g H = v2^2 - v1^2 or

v2^2 = 2 g H + v1^2

Since 88 ft/sec = 60mph we have 30 mph = 44 ft/sec

The object will return with the same speed that it had initially so the object

starts out with a downward speed of 44 ft/sec

Then v2^2 = 2 * 32 ft/sec^2 * 160 ft + 44 (ft/sec)^2

v2^2 = (2 * 32 * 160 + 44^2) ft^2 / sec^2 = 12180 ft^2/sec^2

v2 = 110 ft/sec

When turned on, a fan requires 5.0 seconds to get up to its final operating rotational speed of 1200 rpm. a) How large is the fi

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

125.6 rad/s

25.12 rad/s²

Explanation:

t = time required by the fan to get up to final operating speed = 5 sec

w = final operating rotational speed = 1200 rpm

we know that :

1 revolution = 2π rad

1 min = 60 sec

w = $1200\frac{rev}{min}\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}\frac{1 min}{60 sec}$

w = $\frac{1200\times 2\pi }{60}\frac{rad}{s}$

w = 125.6 rad/s

w₀ = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

α = angular acceleration

using the equation

w = w₀ + α t

125.6 = 0 + α (5)

α = 25.12 rad/s²
